The trip to Pender Island

Faz and Arlene went to Pender Island last weekend for Arlene's team retreat. The trip was amazing and provided Faz with a few days off that he really needed. Pictures of the trip will come shortly. Faz is back into the groove of things now, with a positive outlook on the next four months until he is back at home in Calgary.

Faz and Arlene miss each other terribly and look forward to their bi-weekly trips to see each other, despite the expense.

Editor's note: It is expensive flying between Victoria and Calgary, trust me.

Pop Quiz?

Faz was surprised to go to his class today and find himself having to write a pop quiz. The quiz covered the materials in the readings that were assigned to Faz's class for today. Faz finished the readings some time ago, so he's not sure how he did on the quiz.

Either way, Faz is living the life of a student.

Editor's Note: Faz is burning out due to the work for his degree and the CMA SLP.

Update...

Faz is busy with school at Royal Roads University and the CMA Board Report. He is in the process of setting up a mock Board of Directors (BOD) to review his presentation to the CMA Board reviewing his case. So far, Faz's team has prepared a great case for change and they fully anticipate to do well. The mock BOD has been instructed to slam Faz's team with difficult questions to ensure that they are ready for the actual questions that the CMA BOD may ask.

Arlene is well on her way to complete the CSC and is transitioning herself to get into her CMA studies again. She'll be visiting an exited Faz this weekend in Victoria, they hope to get out to see some of Victoria's natural beauty during the weekend.

All in all, the couple is doing well, and very happy about the way things have been unfolding as of late. One of their friends, Rabey will be staying at their house in Calgary while Arlene is with Faz, so there will be someone to take care of Bilal and Jawad.

Editor's Note: Faz misses Bilal and Jawad very much. The peacocks on the Royal Roads Campus just aren't the same.
